This handsome Victorian home sits in a quite unique, semi-rural location on the outskirts of Sheffield City centre. It is enveloped by a beautiful patchwork of verdant

farmland, thus giving the house and grounds a

wonderful feeling of peaceful seclusion, and yet

in around fifteen minutes one can be taking

advantage of the city’s wonderful array of shops

and amenities and excellent transport links.

insight“I bought this house a little over twenty five years ago,” says Bernard, “and at that time I was building up my business.

What attracted me most about the property was the beauty of

the location and its proximity to the M1. It’s far enough away not

to impact on the peace and tranquillity of the house, but it meant

that getting to anywhere from London to Newcastle was

relatively easy.”


“I was also very taken with the style of the house,” continues

Bernard. “To the north of Sheffield there aren’t many properties of this

stature, and the amount of land that surrounds it is also quite unusual.

It’s so incredibly peaceful here, but on the flip side if I need a pint of

milk I can nip down the road and I’ve got everything. “

“Just after purchasing the house I spent two years renovating it,” says Bernard, “and I’ve tried to give it a quite

contemporary feel whilst retaining most of the lovely Victorian features.

All of the materials, fixtures and fittings are of the highest quality, and

I’ve tried to keep everything in excellent condition over the years.”



The property enjoys a little known private location situated to the north side of the city. Whilst secluded the property is positioned within walking distance of local amenities which include a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an Asda supermarket.

The railway station at Chapeltown is within a 5 minute drive and the M1 motorway can be accessed by two junctions (35 and 35a). There are also regular bus services into Sheffield and additional services to Barnsley and Rotherham town centres. Open countryside is accessed within immediate walking distance and nearby attractions such as Wortly Hall, Wentworth Woodhouse and Wentworth Castle are close by as is the golf club a both Tankersley and Wortly.

SheffieldSheffield centre is within a 10 minute drive and presents prestigious universities, hospitals and many public houses specialising in real ales. The city has major theatres, museums and art galleries, a multitude of restaurants and an active nightlife.

Sheffield centre is within a 10 minute drive and presents prestigious universities, hospitals and many public houses specialising in real ales. The city has major theatres, museums and art galleries, a multitude of restaurants and an active nightlife.

The fabulous 19 acre Botanical gardens and the recently restored glass pavilions present an immediate attraction and the glorious Peak district is also within a short drive. Meadowhall shopping centre can be reached within 15 minutes.


This beautiful property also benefits from around thirteen acres of lovely grounds, which incorporate three fields and a large area of formal gardens.

Within the grounds there’s also a heated indoor swimming pool, a Dutch barn and a stable block. “I’ve put a lot of effort into keeping the gardens absolutely

immaculate,” continues Bernard. “There are lots of different places where you can sit depending on your mood or where the sun is brightest. There are areas of patio,

areas of lawn, a lake and lots of beautiful shrubs, flower and trees; it’s really magical.”

“I’d say the twenty five years that I have spent here speaks volumes about what a beautiful home this is,” says Bernard. “Everything you could possibly want or need is

on the doorstep, but once the gate is shut you’re in your own corner of paradise.”
